1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Pathogenic variants in KMT2D are typically associated with Kabuki syndrome (KS), a rare multisystem disorder. KS is characterized by facial dysmorphisms, intellectual disability, skeletal and dermatoglyphic differences, and poor growth. Seventy percent of individuals with clinically diagnosed KS have a confirmed pathogenic variant in KMT2D or less commonly KDM6A. The majority of mutations found in KMT2D are de novo nonsense or frameshift, with deletions and duplications rarely reported in the literature. Here, we present the case of near complete deletion of KMT2D in a college student with normal intelligence discovered via exome sequencing and EpiSign methylation testing. This case provides evidence that large deletions in KMT2D are compatible with normal intelligence and presents EpiSign as a method for discovering molecular causes of KS not identified by traditional molecular testing.
